Hosted in July at A Sea of Books
♦ ♦ ♦
While visiting my daughter last week we stopped at the local independent bookstore. Not only did I buy the t-shirt but I also bought two books that were on my wish list:
Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan
The Arrivals by Meg Mitchell Moore
Any new books arrive at your house last week?
It is lovely when we find books on our wishlist isn’t it. Happy 4th of July for tomorrow.

I won a copy of The Arrivals a few weeks ago and it looks so good, I want to get to it soon. Very cool shirt. Can never have too many book t-shirts.
I really like your presentation in the photo. Very nice!

I love this picture Mary! So festive with the red chair and blue t-shirt! That was nice of you to support the Indie bookstore, how appropriate that you bought the book Maine. It’s high on my wishlist, can’t wait to get a copy. I’ve not heard of The Arrivals and I’m adding that to my wishlist as well. Enjoy and have a wonderful 4th of July!
